Over the years we have gone through several nonstick pans, which seem to wear out quickly and not be able to withstand much heat at all. We very much like the Swiss Diamond Saute Pan, which is nonstick at any setting of the stove we use with it, even high heat. The relatively high sides and 12" diameter make it big enough to cook a large amount at one time, good for leftovers. The glass lid is also very good, with a setting in the knob which allows us to vary the amount of steam escaping. The handle is quite fine and does not get hot in use, something we were initially concerned with for a metal handle.

This pan seems to be as indestructible as a non-stick pan can be. This is my second Swiss Diamond pan, and so far I am impressed. I have only had the other pan for about 6 months and so far so good. Finding non-stick pans that hold up to both high heat and to abrasion has been a hard task. So far I like the Swiss Diamond pans and as long as they continue to hold up I will slowly replace the rest of my pans with them.

I wrote the Swiss Diamond company and asked for an explanation of what the nano-composite material was made of.

After a week or so, I received a polite reply from Allan Wolk, an employee in the U.S. His email informed me that, "Our patented nonstick surface uses a nano-composite of real diamond crystals and PTFE; it is applied using a computer controlled plasma gun at very high temperatures."

Naturally, my attention was immediately drawn to the PTFE. The acronym sounded familiar. What was PTFE?

A quick search of Wikipedia provided the answer: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTFE)

As Wikipedia explains:

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fluoropolymer discovered by Roy J. Plunkett (1910-1994) of DuPont in 1938. It was introduced as a commercial product in 1946 and is generally known to the public by DuPont's brand name Teflon®.

Huh? Teflon? Wait a minute. Didn't the Swiss Diamond website just claim that the product contained no Teflon?

If you look back at the Swiss Diamond website screen capture, the careful wording of their answer now becomes clear. It states, "The Swiss Diamond coating does not contain any Teflon taking into consideration that "Teflon" is a trade mark, made and owned by DUPONT."

So the pans don't contain Teflon, they just contain the chemical called Teflon. It's like saying a nuclear warhead doesn't contain any plutonium, it only contains nuclear fissionable material.

For the manufacturer to insist the Swiss Diamond pans contain no Teflon whatsoever when it is made primarily from polytetrafluoroethylene, the chemical widely known as Teflon, is extremely deceptive. In fact, the intent of the Swiss Diamond company seems to be to deceive consumers by omission of the facts. The FAQ document on the Swiss Diamond website, for example, does not bother to say something like, "But our pans do contain PTFE, the chemical known as Teflon." It simply insists they contain no Teflon and moves on to the next question.

It seems that Swiss Diamond goes out of its way to give the impression that this product is free of Teflon chemicals and is surfaced primarily with diamonds. That's the impression I got, anyway, and I read the promotional materials several times before purchasing the pan.

Consumers have been hoodwinked!!!!!!!!!!

Very good. Had it for a few months now. The pan we got had some scratches on the bottom (not on cooking surface) we didn't notice until later. It has a very good nonstick surface and is easy to clean. Absolutely not trouble with anything adhering to it. It comes with a lid that is very high quality as well. You definitely get what you pay for.

This is a great product, and it was a welcome addition to my cookware. My only complaint has to do with the utensils that came along with it. I was cooking something in a frying pan and the spatula that I was using actually melted! Well, that did not bother me all that much because I bought this for the cookware, not the utensils and they can be replaced. It's a great set and "works" just beautifully!

All I can say is "wow!" ... what a nice grill pan. For a single person, this is a great size for a piece of salmon or chicken. Heats uniformly and cooks great. Grilled two filet mignons in this pan before popping them into the oven, and they turned out great. The meat was lightly marinated and didn't use any oil in the pan and the steak turned out nice. And a light wiping with paper towels and light washing afterwards, it looked new...still. I plan to use this pan more than my outdoor grill as it adds the grill marks to the meat quickly without having to fire up the BBQ grill. The price was right, and I love the wood handle. Can't go wrong buying this grill pan. German quality at its best.

Reviews of Ironwood Gourmet Acacia Wood Pizza Peel

Customer Ratings:

I agonized over which peel to buy. Amazon sure carries a lot of them. I knew I wanted a wooden peel and this caught my eye right away. So did some others, due to attractive looks or attractive price. Finally I decided it was OK to spend a little bit more to get something that's nice-looking.

You can use it for bread or pizza. At 14 inches, it's not going to hold a monster-size pizza dough; not a problem for me, but keep it in mind if you're planning on baking huge pizzas. I prepare my pizza or bread dough, put some parchment paper on the peel, and slide the parchment and dough onto my Old Stone Oven 14-inch Round Baking Stone. This method works great! It's so easy to slide the dough from the peel to the hot stone using parchment paper. Using parchment also makes it easier to get the finished product out of the oven but I digress. From proofing bread to baking to removing, it works great.

It looks great, too! Wow, the figure and grain of the acacia wood is absolutely beautiful. It's so attractive, I've hung it on a wall, and it doubles as artwork, and that makes a great value. Highly recommended (even if you're not a baker and just want something foodie and good-looking to decorate your kitchen).

I bought this one for looks, but was worried about the thickness of the lip/tapered edge making it difficult to get the pizza out of the oven as several reviewers have mentioned. So far, it has not been a problem. While it's true that the tapered edge is thick, it's only on one side of the peel. The other side of the peel is flat. I assemble the pizza on the peel with the tapered edge facing up and slide it right into the oven. When the pizza's ready, I flip the peel over (flat side up) and use the tapered edge underneath as a wedge. Just tilt the handle up a bit and slip the edge of the peel under the edge of the pizza. Now lower the handle, and the lip of the peel will lift the edge of the pizza far enough up for you to slide the peel underneath. Once the pizza cools, I slice it right on the peel and serve. So there you have it use the side with the tapered edge for raw pizza, use the flat side for cooked pizza. I also sometimes use this as a cheese platter always setting the flat side up so that I limit knife marks to this one side of the peel.

This pizza peel is a little bit thicker than I was expecting, or perhaps more importantly, has a less tapered edge than I was expecting, making it a little difficult to remove pizza with the peel but I have had good luck sliding pizzas off my stone with a spatula and this is a really beautiful peel, perfect for serving.

Honest reviews on Ironwood Gourmet Acacia Wood Pizza Peel

We have been on a pizza kick lately and I got tired of finding ways to get my pizza's from the counter to the stone. This peel is not only gorgeous to look at but it works too.

Make sure to put cornmeal on the peel and don't make your pizza on it too far in advance of putting it in the oven. Other than that it will slide off just fine.

As others have said, this pizza peel is beautiful. But, that's not the important part. I love pizza, and I intended to use the pizza peel.

I was a little concerned when purchasing as some reviewers have said it is a little thicker than expected, and was torn between purchasing this pizza peel and the kitchen supply aluminum pizza peel also sold here on Amazon, which seems thinner and possible more functional, but not quite as nice looking. I'm glad I bought this one.

While it is a little thick to slide right underneath the pizza without any help (it may be possible, but difficult), it's quite easy to get the pizza on it with a spatula as a previous reviewer mentioned. All you need to do is lift the edge of the pizza and slip the peel under after that just push with the peel and the pizza slides right on. You don't need to use the spatula extensively or anything just enough to lift the edge of the pizza. We're gonna need it anyways to lift those big topping filled slices onto plates anyways, so it'll need to be washed anyways so no issues there. Alternatively, lift the edge with a fork, knife, pizza cutter, etc. Anything to just lift the edge of the pizza will do the trick.

This pizza peel is the first I've used and let's me use a pizza stone properly. I used to always just use a pizza stone as I would a pizza pan or anything else just sit the pizza on the cold stone and slip it in the oven when it was done preheating. It usually ended up sticking to the stone ruining the pizza anyways, so I rarely used the stone. With this peel, I can heat up the stone in the oven when it preheats, toss a little flour on the peel and build the pizza on it, and slide it right onto the hot stone. The pizza doesnt stick at all to either the peel or the stone this way. A little flour will go a long way (a lot works just as well, as when I first started I used more than needed to ensure it didn't stick you just get a little extra flour taste with each bite).

Overall, good peel and a good pick. Thick, sure, but it's not as thick as I thought and it's easier to get pizzas out of a hot oven onto the peel than I thought.

In the past two years I have had to throw out a Le Creuset kettle (which simply fell to pieces after a year's use literally, nuts and bolts just started to fall off) and a Chantal copper kettle (not exactly the kettle's fault: my husband offered to make me a cup of tea and then went to the end of the back yard and forgot about it).

But this All Clad, which he bought me to make amends, is just so darn gorgeous! I love the way it looks. I love the way the lid gently slides on, instead of having to be rammed in, as with the other two brands. What is more, because the base is of a wider diameter, water heats in half the time.

I honestly don't know why other reviewers complain so about the handle heating up. Have you tried the Chantal? You virtually need to wear an asbestos suit before you can touch its handle. The All Clad does heat up a little, but I would always suggest using a pot holder to handle any kettle or hot pan handle. It just makes sense.

Lastly, I don't know much about other brands of oven, but we have a Wolf, and the burners are so large that the flames would fly up the sides of my copper Chantal kettle and burn the patina. The All Clad has the same diameter as our Wolf burners, so no chance of that happening; although I suspect if it did, no harm would come to it.

So thank you, Steve, for burning out my Chantal kettle!

Enter All-Clad. I knew when I saw it that it was exactly what I was looking for. It meets all my criteria. Yes, it is more expensive, but not when you consider it comes with a lifetime guarantee (provided you do not abuse it). I am very happy with my new kettle. It is worth every cent I paid for it.

Wish I had this years ago. This pot is super. Like all cast iron cookware, it is hard to burn something (if you use medium or low heat) because the heat dissipates so evenly, it imparts a great flavor, is easy to clean, and keeps food warm long after removing from the heat.

You can brown, simmer, and bake all in the same pot. Here is an example.

Today I made a "pot pie casserole." I browned chicken pieces in olive oil, added cream of chicken soup, frozen veggies, and simmered. Then I covered with Bisquick dough and baked to form a crust-all in the same pot.

I took it out of the oven, my wife joined me 20 minutes later (and the food was still piping hot), all in one pot. Then an easy clean up, heat on the flame, turn off, spray with cooking, and it is ready to go for next time.

Great flavor for making spaghetti sauce, etc.

Note: when you receive it, wash in dish water, heat, add and brush with cooking oil (olive, canola, etc) and let get real hot over medium heat for three minutes. Turn off and it is "seasoned." Clean with hot water alone (when you can), put on heat, when good and hot, turn off and spray with cooking spray or oil. This is the original "no stick" cookware!

Review of Elo 90160 Rubin Stainless Steel Cookware Set, 9-Piece

Customer Ratings:

I specifically wanted the double loop handles which are easier to fit on my apartment stove, plus easier to lift with my arthritis. I was concerned by the somewhat light gauge of the sidewalls, but they haven't been a problem. They're thinner than heavier high end pans. But surprisingly, they're about the same as my 30 year old Cuisinart stainless. The heavy base provides even temps on the stove top. The all metal and glass construction allows use in the oven. They clean easily if you soak crusty stuff first. After a year of use, the mirror finish still looks new, but there are a few scrape marks inside the pans.

I would definitely recommend these.

It looks like a very nice lid. Attractive. well-made, and came very well packed.

Unfortunately, even though the listing says "Fits standard Lodge 12 inch dia pans," it does not. We made the "mistake" of buying the Lodge P12S3 cast iron skillet, and the lid rides on TOP of the skillet rim, not down in the skillet. We bought a 10" model, and the same thing occurs for the 10" model. I don't know what Lodge considers "standard Lodge 12 inch dia pans," but it is surely not the 12" skillet that we ordered and received. This is probably more of a criticism of Amazon and their listing than the product, but we unfortunately don't have a skillet that it DOES fit, so we have no way to tell. We have been very happy with Lodge skillets over the years.

Update:

We bought "Lodge Pro-Logic Pre-Seasoned 10-Inch Skillet" Model P10S3. We bought cover GC10 because it says that it "Fits standard Lodge 10.25 inch dia pans." It doesn't fit.

We bought "Lodge Pro-Logic Pre-Seasoned 12-Inch Skillet" Model P12S3. We bought cover GC12 because it says that it "Fits standard Lodge 12 inch dia pans." It doesn't fit.

Poking around the Lodge website, I find

P10S3 Skillet, 10" dia. P10L3 Cover, 10" dia.

P12S3 Skillet, 12 dia. P12L3 Cover, 12" dia.

I did not see images of the covers or information about whether they are oven safe or not.

Amazon apparently does not carry the lids for the skillets that we bought.

But on models are not listed, either, so one must do some more research just to find what covers fit which skillets.

I selected the L?SK3 series, but no covers were listed.

Further poking got me to glass covers here

Lodge Glass Cover, 10 1/4" dia. Fits L8SK3, L8CF3, L8DSK3, L8DO3, L8DOL3, LCC3 and L8DD3

Lodge Glass Cover, 12" dia. Fits L10SK3, L10DSK3, L10DO3, L10CF3 and L10DOL3

...and at last I know which covers go with which skillets.

I also prefer a lid with a loop handle because it is easier to hang. With the knob on top, storing the cover will not be as easy.

I bought this lid along with a cast iron lid for my skillets. I use this lid when cooking something I need to keep a close eye on so I don't have to keep picking up the lid as I would with the cast iron lid. The lid is built with metal ring around the edge to prevent chipping and provide for a good fit. It fits the skillet perfectly. Nice and light which is a benefit over the cast iron lid. It is rated to use in the oven (to a certain temp), however when using the pan in the oven, I use the cast iron lid. The only downside I can note is that the glass lid is made in China vs the cast iron lid (and skillets) being made in the USA. This may or may not be an issue for you but other posters had mentioned it so I'm throwing it in.

I cannot believe some people wrote negative reviews because they couldn't figure out how to simply put the cover on. Oh my, it's the easiest, quickset cover to attach of all the processors I've owned or used. I won't even bother to explain the process because there isn't any.

The KitchenAide processor is well built and nicely designed. The slicing blade dials to create the thickness of the cut... how cool is that? And, there are two shredding sizes perfect! If you want to emulsify something (mayo) by adding a liquid slowly, there is a convenient tiny hole in the bottom of the 'food pusher'. The stainless blade quality and heft is second to none. If you own a KitchenAide stand mixer, you know what I'm talking about it's the gold standard for consumer mixers. This processor is built just as well.

The panel buttons (off/low/high/pulse) are flush with the unit so there is no place for food or junk to get stuck it's an easy wipe to clean thoroughly.

You will NOT be dissappointed in this unit. Please totally disregard the negative reviews unless you cannot screw a cover on a jar.

The 7 cup size is perfect for a family of four. Get the 9 or 13 if you do alot of processing or canning.

Oh, the 7 and 9 cup units (bases/motor) are identical except for the bowl size. Both bowls fit interchangeably so just order the bigger bowl/blades and you'll have one processor that can handle smaller and larger jobs.

Enjoy!

I just wanted to add a positive review here agreeing with the others that the processor works perfectly once you get the lid on properly. It can be twisted on at several spots, but you have to line up the part that protrudes slightly from the rim/lip with the handle. As a left-handed person, I was lining it up so that the handle was on the left, and it would not start. Once I lined it up as a "righty" everything worked just fine.

Best Deals for Kitchenaid KFP0711cu 7 Cup Food Processor KFP0711 Beautiful

A lot of reviews report this unit as dead out of the box, and I had the same experience myself. The problem turns out to be that the lid can latch securely in either of two positions, but only one of these engages the safety interlock that prevents the machine from running with no lid. The feed tube must be at the FRONT of the unit with the lid latched. If the tube ends up off to the side, you will get the same satisfying "click" as the lid latches into place (the wrong place), but the unit won't run.

There is nothing about this in the instruction manual; I found this information at the Bed Bath & Beyond web site.

Once running, I found the performance satisfactory. This is my first food processor so I have no basis for comparison; it seems okay so far. I gave it a one star rating because the combined negligence of the designers and manual writers nearly cost me a return trip to the store to return a seemingly defective unit.

I would bet that the 2 reviewers that gave this a low rating ran into the same problem that I did which was paying attention to how the lid goes on. Yes, it does matter, and if it is not on correctly, it will not turn on. The base and lid both have to be on in a specific orientation. Works great.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Kitchenaid KFP0711cu 7 Cup Food Processor KFP0711 Beautiful

I think the instructions need to be changed for attaching the lid.

Align the lid so that the tube is towards the front and slightly off-center to the left. Then rotate to the right to click into place. This actually activates a switch in the handle of the bowl that feeds down to the base unit. If this switch is not activated properly (ie. the lid is not on properly), it will seem like your unit is completely dead.

Nice unit, solid build. I'm looking forward to lots of use.

I was really not terribly surprised at the price since I've used the roaster over and over and it still looks brand new, but I did have a renewed gratefulness for the gift! This roaster is very heavy, and with the deep lid, is also extremely versatile. I was a little concerned about food sticking, since I'd been raised using non-stick cookware, however, I was so pleased with the results that I no longer own non-stick cookware at all.
